Shemitah
Matt May 2015
Here I am again
Alone At the library

Human existence can be strange indeed
I think I will go for a long hike this afternoon

I just need to record something interesting to listen to

I definitely know about solitude
And it helps me to know myself

The Shemitah is the seventh year
In the seven year agricultural calendar of Israel

The current Shemitah ends September 24, 2015

Since 1973 every US financial collapse
Combined with subsequent recession
Has occured during Shemitah 100% of the time
This includes 2001 and 2008

Perhaps another collapse in September of this year

All 50 States
Making a mockery of God
Soon to feel his lightning finger pinch!!!!!!!!

Year of the shemitah!!!!
America needs to awake and as the world... 2015 crunch collapse time

This shoulder
It is some type of burden

This life
So strange

I visited a woman who has cancer today
She was in good spirits
A woman of faith

And as we walked in
Her cousin and her friend
Were just leaving

They were in their 80's I think
I bow to them as I shake their hand
They are the ones who have lived

And I'm living this life
And thinking about this life
And isn't it strange

It's just a shoulder
I know

I went to the physical therapist
And although they are even now
One is still larger than the other

And I write these poems
And I read my book on Lincoln
And the Shemitah
Is coming to a close

World economies in trouble
My gut feeling
Tells me a trying time
Is coming to this nation

These women they were probably
Born after the depression
And lived through World War II

I see my life unfold before me
Live with the heart
I have a caring heart

And I do love to share stories
With people

And that therapist
He was supposed to fix my shoulder
To make me symmetrical

Oh it's not a big deal
But it is to me
I've spent about 20 hours a week
In a gym
For the past 7 years or so

If you can't be comfortable
In your own body

Then you can't find someone
Because I feel akward
With this shoulder

It's not that noticeable
But it is to me

Talk about
"Shouldering"
A burden

And my Kenmore fan blows
And I hope I will have
Some work this year

And time goes on
And it is a journey
A journey

The stoic calm
Year of the Shemitah

Trying times
They are coming
I think
They are coming to America

— The End —
